This is a day filled with good news about my brothers. A quick reminder that at the end of August 2015, Lance (my youngest brother, with Down's Syndrome) had an abdominal infection that kept him in and out of ICU for over a year, with surgeries and micro robotic exploration and killer cocktails of 12 antibiotics at a time. Since then he has had a feeding tube and been unable to eat except things like ice cream. Then a month ago my older (still younger than me) brother was mauled by a bull on the ranch. So ok, enough backstory
The update is this regarding Lance: he has been allowed to eat only by mouth for five days, including a fajita dinner he was extremely delighted by, and if there are no complications in the next ten days he gets to have the tube removed!!
Brett says regarding himself, "I am healed, back to life no limitations. Just can't jump or run yet but other than that I healed super fast. I had 6 broken ribs in my back, broken clavical, broken knee, ripped tricep, collapsed lung and a pretty good blow to the head." But this is at the thirty day mark
Oh my goodness- I had no idea about Brett. But I'm glad I stumbled on the good news part of the story first! Both Brett and Lance will continue to be in my prayers.
